Lady A I totally agree with the Fairy Tale Ends, it is a more natural look. Blunt cuts will eventually grow out into FTE's anyway. It's like chasing a dream. I too have been clipping the SSK's, but that is an endless journey. If they don't hurt the strand of hair I will just leave them. With curly hair, they are inevitable.

Sometimes hair is temperamental like a child. And like a child, we still are responsible for nurturing it, being patient and showing unconditional love. You'll be proud of what it grows up to be. You'll see. Be patient.

after I wear my hair out during the day, I feel it tearing from tangles on the ends when I try to comb it out at night UNLESS I soak it in coconut oil before using the widest tooth comb. So unless I oil my ends before I try to detangle at the end of the day, my tangles cause cumulative length reduction daily. This happens because the hair curls up on the ends during the day even if it is wrapped and straight in the morning. So basically, curly hair is bad for MY length retention unless I keep the ends sopping in oil daily. The only other solution for ME is to keep it tied up 24/7 in a bun so it can't tangle. Even in a bun, tangles form at the nape and the back of the head that I lay on unless MY hair is sopping in coconut oil even in a bun.

Once the Summer is over, my wraps and roller sets will stay smoother all day long and the problem should be a lot less. I can use less oil when MY hair curls up less. But during Summer my hair draws up the most thus the ends tear a lot when I comb them during this time. When my hair is smoother it tangles a LOT less and length retention is generally much easier for me.
